Ban Mobil

Kejadian sore ini harus banget nih di posting!!

Jadi tadi di jalan pulang yah saudara-saudara, ban mobil gw bagian belakang robek aja loh!!

Lagi tenang2 nyetir di sore hari seperti biasa kan ya sambil denger radio tuh.. eh, tau2 ada bunyi yg ganggu banget dr belakang.. Pas radio dikecilin, mulai kedengeran deh tuh bunyi, waktu itu baru lewat tugu tani tuh.. Akhirnya pas di Teuku Umar, minggirlah gw untuk liat ada apaan.. Begitu dicek, ya seperti yg gw bilang tadi, bannya robek di bagian dalem, jadi robekannya itu yang bikin bunyi2 yg sangat ganggu itu. Karena tidak ada yg bisa kulakukan juga disitu, berniat untuk coba jalan lagi akhirnya..

Duh, nyetir mobil super pelan tuh dari situ.. bunyinya konstan sampe Masjid Sunda Kelapa.. Begitu udah masuk Kuningan, masyaAllah, bunyinya tambah membabi buta!! Karena takut kenapa2, langsung ambil jalur lambat terus langsung masuk area parkir gedung terdekat!

Thank God pak satpam disitu baik! Dia ikutan liatin, terus dipotongin deh tuh tali hasil robekan si ban yang gewer2 semakin panjang. Setelah diyakinkan kalo tuh mobil masih bisa dibawa jalan sampe rumah setelah sobekannya dipotong, meluncurnya saya kembali ke jalanan.. Bunyinya ilang! (walaupun sempet takut tadinya, walaupun sobekannya udah dipotong, tapi sobekannya berlanjut -yg ternyata gak!- hehe)

Akhirnya jalan dari Kuningan sampe rumah dengan aman dan sampe rumah sehat walafiat (walaupun sepanjang jalan tetep deg2an.. :D) Langsung minta liatin tuh ban sama orang rumah.. serem ah kalo mesti ngalamin kaya begitu lagi..

Aku ketemu orang baik lagi hari ini.. Terima kasih pak Satpam.. :))

8 Movies Marathon!!

Beberapa hari ini abis marathon dvd nih di rumah (akibat puasa nonton di bioskop kali yah.. haha) Gw bawaannya gatel banget deh kayanya harus nonton film.. :P

Anyway, jadi film-film beruntung itu adalah: Bridesmaids, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends With Benefit, Change Up, Bad Teacher, One Day, Dillema, I Don't Know How She Does It.. Gila, banyak juga yah?! Utang gw sama dvd2 yg belom ditonton dan masih tergeletak dengan manis di rumah jg masih banyak!! Hahaha.

Kasih pendapat singkat yah soal film2 tadi..

Bridesmaids : Lumayan menghibur lah ya.. Tapi di film ini, gw males banget liat pemeran utamanya! Ga bikin simpatik, karena menurut gw di film itu bukan hidup dia yg menyedihkan, tapi dia yg membuat hidupnya yg sebenernya baik2 aja tampak menyedihkan! LAME (-__-")

Crazy Stupid Love : Lumayanlah.. But Not Memorable

Friends With Benefit : Versi lain filmnya Natalie Portman - Ashton Kutcher yang No Strings Attached. Ada bagian2 bagusnya sih, tapi overall biasa2 aja nih film. Justin Timberlake - Mila Kunis ga bisa ngalahin kerennya No Strings Attached.

Change Up : Hmm.. I think the one and only film about people exchanging their soul and body that actually got me was only Lindsay Lohan's Friday Night! (bener kan yah Friday Night judulnya?? Udah lupa banget iniiii)

Bad Teacher : Another crappy film from Justin Timberlake. But this one includes Cameron Diaz in it.

One Day : Touchy. Alur filmnya oke. Ceritanya bagus. I just not so into the kind of love described in this movie. Anne Hathaway masih selalu main film bagus! :)

Dillema : Biasa ajaaaaa... Nothing's special..

I Don't Know How She Does It : Yah, lumayanlah filmnya Sarah Jessica Parker yg ini.. Not Bad.. But not THAT good either..

Woww! Emang gw tukang kritik kali yah?! Banyak amat yg gw bilang biasa aja.. hahaha! Well, not easy to impress me indeed.. But I'm a true-to-myself kind of person.. When it is great, I won't waste another moment to compliment its greatness! Ciao ;)

Sherlock Holmes

Bahas film lagi yuk! (ah, jd inget, udah seminggu lebih ga ntn film di bioskop sama my darling.... huhhh)

Kali ini bahas Sherlock Holmes aja deh ya, yg trakhir gw tonton bareng tunangan (ihiy!) & adek gw hampir 2 minggu yg lalu..

First of all, I like this movie oh so much!! hahaha. I love every aspect. Jalan ceritanya, teka tekinya, scenes-nya, tapi yg paling bikin nyangkut di hati memang udah pasti karakter Sherlock Holmes yg diperanin sama Robert Downey Jr pastinya dong.. :D

Gw emang suka tokoh yg pinter, baik, tapi narsis dan egois but deep down inside they're willing to help others and have a great will to sacrifice! Model2 gini kan yang bukan tipikal idola org banyak karena cap egois yg udah dikasih sama org2 sekitarnya, padahal kalo org2 kenal lebih dalam.. bisa cinta mati sama tokoh kaya begini!! Bahkan ngelebihin tipe2 tokoh idola.. (kok gw kaya orang curhat yah?? :P) Yg agak mengherankan, perasaan gw sih selama ini cm 2 tokoh dlm film yang menurut gw sesuai dengan gambaran itu: Sherlock Holmes, dan Iron Man! And both are played beautifully by Robert Downey Jr !! hahaha. That's why I love him so much!

Sherlock Holmes is definitely a worth to watch movie!! All thumbs up for Guy Ritchie ;)

Cemilan

Heyhow! 15 menit lg mau pulang nih.. Menikmati akhir 2011 tanpa kerja.. hehehe. Tapi, seharian ini bawaannya kepikiran pengen ngemillll mulu.. FYI, gw bukan termasuk orang yg doyan ngemil sih, kecuali lg ngidam to the max!! :P

Jadi berpikir, Senin mau bawa2 cemilan ah.. Kaya waktu masa2 masih di ruangan sebelah.. hihi. Tapiiii, konsekuensinya, nanti si badan tambah menggila dong berkembang ke sampingnya... Oh well, pilihan sulit.. -__-"

Trash, but Important

I just got home from a quite important meeting for my life (wooww! serius sekali sepertinya ya.. hahaha!) well, it is literally that important.. :) Quite tiring too actually..

Sepertinya beban di kepala sejak hari minggu kemarin hilang langsung deh.. hehehe. Well, mudah2an bener2 ilang yah.. :) Akhirnya gw seperti menemukan titik cerah dari pikiran yang selama ini membebani.. InsyaAllah kejelasan ini bukan cuma bersifat sementara dan dibuat-buat, tapi memang begitu apa adanya..

InsyaAllah segala macem yang akan datang dikemudian hari ga akan terganggu dengan apa yg udah gw bereskan hari ini.. Semoga semuanya akan beresss dan baik2 sajaaaa..

Well, I know I kinda trashing in my own blog with this post since it seems like it's only me who understands what I'm talking about.. But, what the hell! I am happy, and I like sharing my happiness.. hahaha!!

Baiklah, cukup sudah. Udah ketemu my one & only juga.. eheheh. Mari kita tidurrrrr.... :)

Back to Routines..

I'm back from my short leave everyone!!! hehehe. Males banget yah masuk kantorrrr.. :P

Kemarin tuh seharian di rumah kan karena sakit, rasanya pengen banget waktu tuh di pause dulu.. And life let me catch my breath.. oh well, that wouldn't happen after all.. hahaha.

Pengalaman pagi ini sampe kantor: masuk area parkiran basement, pas turun mobil akses untuk menuju lift tertutup dengan suksesnya akibat genangan air! akhirnya berdua papa naik tangga dulu ke arah lobby.. Masuk lobby, udah ada pembatas2 kaya yg biasanya ada di stasiun-stasiun kereta gitu loh, cuma belom bisa dipake aja (pake swipe card kayanya yah, well, good luck with the distribution then.. and all the ups & downs using it!). Lift?? Well, masih kaya kemarin2 aja tuh, cuma 2 lift lainnya sepertinya udah hampir jadi (terlihat dari sudah terpajangnya tombol2 baru di dindingnya.. hehehe). Toilet still on progress I guess..

Jam 10 tiba2 diajakin rapat, mendadak. Ternyata diajak ikut rapat juga ada udang di balik batu banget.. bener2 deh tuh salah satu kabag, tobat kali pak!! :P

Karena rapat selesai juga past lunch time, makan di ruangan aja deh.. Padahal temen ngajak janjian, kasubag ngajakin nyoba sop buntut, sampe tante gw juga ngajakin lunch aja dong!! Apa boleh buat, I turn them all down.. *sok laku* wkwkwk.

Oh iya, baru juga masuk ya, udah terpampang aja gitu nama gw untuk dinas weekend minggu depan! Arrggghhh! Malassss. (-__-")

I want a nice, peaceful, happy, colorful candy life!!!!! (who doesn't missy??!!)

My First Cuti.. heheheh

Formally, this is my last day at the office before I take a break with my first leave (for a week) as a public servant.. ;) Technically, there's still 2 days more since me and my co-workers will leave to Bogor today for work until Sunday.. hehehe.

I am soooo excited! Why? Because obviously, I LOVE holidays!! hahaha!

Lucunya, pas mau ngajuin cuti, sebenernya iseng aja karena pengen merasakan hak (hahaha!). My boss asked: "Nikki mau lamaran ya makanya cuti?" Gw jawab ga dong.. Rencananya kan memang ga tahun ini mau lamaran.. Pas tiba2 jadi lamaran tepat pada saat gw cuti itu (cerita lengkapnya liat di MeandMyDawn ya..) langsunglah gw takjub, kok pas banget yah.. hahaha! Good news for me, jadi punya banyak waktu untuk siap2 (DAN beres2 si kamar yg udah hancur lebur ga berbentuk) :P

Udah ada agenda nih buat selama cuti.. Mudah2an terlaksana semua! Mulai dr printilan kecil yg ga penting sampe acara besarnya ya... :))

Me and My Dawn

Judul apa itu?? Judul blog barukuuuuu... hihihi.

Yes, I've decided to create that blog about me and him.. Mudah2an rajin yah nulisnya.. dan tetep rajin juga yah nulis disini.. :)

Rencananya isinya soal hari2 gw dalam mempersiapkan segala sesuatunya sama my future husband, and spreading a little all the love that we have.. Kalo berguna untuk orang lain Alhamdulilah, kalo ga berguna yah gpp juga.. Kan gw nulisnya buat kepuasan diri sendiri pada intinya.. hahaha!

Kind of excited right now.. Already post 3 entries in a row! :P

A Story About A Desk.. :P

Jadi begini ceritanya... hehehe, di Ditjen tempat gw kerja skrg ini kan cuma untuk waktu setahun yah.. dan dari awal kita udah tau kalo dalam enam bulan bakal di-rolling intern Ditjen sblm nantinya setelah setahun kita pindah Ditjen..

Nah, entah kenapa, pimpinan tercinta 'agak' berubah pikiran dan ga jadi rolling besar2an di dlm Ditjen, dan gw juga ga jadi pindah.. hehehe.


Berhubung unit gw saat itu lg ga asik.. dr yg awalnya asik bgt tuh unit ( penyebabnya ada lah... pokoknya beneran jd ga asik deh! hahaha ) gw berinisiatif lah melakukan upaya biar pindah ke unit sebelah.. dan berhasil dong! wkwkwk. Setelah beberapa saat di unit baru, tiba2 nih unit mau tukeran tempat sama unit sebelahnya lg.. hahaha! Pindahlah tuh ke ruangan sebelah lg.. Di ruangan ini, kita gabung sama unit keuangan, jadi super rame gitu nih tempat.. wakakak!

Perpindahan itu tidak berhenti sampai disitu ternyata.. hahaha. 2 hari di meja baru, saya memutuskan untuk pindah meja lg ke tempat yg agak lebih tertutup.. hihihi. Jadilah tuh ob kembali gw repotin bongkar2an 1 meja.. :P

Sekarang duduklah diriku dengan tenang di meja baru.. Untuk 2 hari ke depan! Karena minggu dpn aku mulai cuti dan meja ini akan kutinggalkan dulu seminggu ini.. hehehe.

With love - miss Rempong. :P

Should I or Shouldn't I ??

Baiklah saya menyerah untuk ga cerita soal ini.. Hihihi. *malu*

I'm planning for something big with a man right now, since we fall for each other so much.. :)

Sekarang ini lg pikir2, lucu juga kali yah bikin blog khusus untuk segala hal dan langkah2 menuju kesana, segala macam keribetan dan kebahagiannya.. jadi kaya punya diary khusus yg bisa dibuat lucu halamannya tanpa menghabiskan waktu lama gunting sana-sini bikin prakarya di buku harian yg sesungguhnya.. hehe ( maklum, wanita malas ) :)

Tapi pertimbangan lainnya adalah, bakal konsisten ga gw ngurusin blog itu?? atau bahkan, kalo nanti pas saat ribet2nya, bakal bikin tambah stres ga dgn adanya blog itu?? Belom lagi takutnya kalo lg nemuin kesusahan jadi kaya curhat gitu, gw kan paling males sebenernya kalo org2 tau masalah gw.. Kan lbh baik berbagi kebahagiaan, kalo kesusahan sih bagi ke org terdekat saja, biar mereka yg pusing.. hahaha! Salah ya?? :P

Jadi, bagaimana yah?? mikir2 gini aja udah bikin kerjaan tambahan buat otak.. wkwkwk. Okay, bye now! *sambil terus berpikir menimbang2* hihi.

A Nice Medicine for Bad Mood

I don't know why I'm in a total bad mood these 2 days.. Lots of crappy moments going on yesterday and also this morning, but I also have no clue which of those contribute for my bad mood, but sometimes I just feel like I'm on my zero point at those moments.

But then came a phone call from him this morning that kinda makes my day.. a little chit-chat that seems very usual, but turns out sweet.. :)

My lunch today with Kancil and another friend of mine at Mbah Jingkrak, surprisingly also cheers me up, puts smiles on my pretty face.. ;)

I love those nice people around me.. I love how they love me.. Love, definitely a nice medicine for a bad mood..

*spreading lots of love!!* :D :D

The Concerts ;)

Hellow, Heyhow!! it's been quite a while right?! hehehe.

I'm not in a good mood since yesterday, but I'm not going to quarrel about how miserable my life is, since it's not! :)

I'm going to share my concerts experiences.. hihihi. I've been to 2 concerts last week, thanks to a very nice friend that turns out share the same interest on these kind of stuff with me.. :)

Ok! so, on December 5th, I went to Train's concert.. Well, since I get the ticket for free, I can say it's a good show to watch.. hehehe. Not because they don't perform well, but because I only know 3 songs!! hahaha. And those 3 songs?? Sweet! I have a fun time singing along.. ;)

Later on, my friend mention about the possibility for the 2 of us to watch Pitbull on the next day ( yes, 2 shows in a row, AND on weekdays!! ) so we promised to meet each other after work on the next day.. :D

On December 6th, we met at Pacific Place, waiting for the concert, waiting to get the tickets. Lots of funny moments we've been through that finally deliver us to bought the tickets for 300k rupiah each.. hehehe. The show?? Awesome!! After a long time not having fun on the dance floor, I finally can feel it one more time! :)) The only disappointment was that the show only lasted for less than an hour! Can you imagine that?! A man with loads of cool songs sang the songs in a medley kind of way and the short version of each songs.. It's like he's teasing on me. Hahaha. But anyway, it's really a fun night. I went home really late ( not to mention: by myself ) and find it hard to get up for work the next morning.. :P

We planned to still try to get tickets for Katy Perry on January 19th even if it's sold out earlier.. wehehehe. Wish us luck!! ;)

Well, this year I've seen 4 ( if seeing Neon Trees while I'm waiting for Cranberries can't be called 'watching' a concert.. hehe ) concerts I guess.. On Java Rocking Land I particularly waiting for Cranberries, and went to Java Soulnation only to watch Mike Posner whose having an awesome show that I enjoy so much!!

Telling about concerts will not be complete if I don't mention my first one.. It is Simple Plan's! Hihihi. Yes, I like this band so much as a teenager ( I still am anyway-a teenager :p ) I went there with my sisters and accompanied by my very cool and spoiled Uncle.. Hehe. And I still think that's the most coolest concert I've ever been to.. :)

Wish You Were Here Lyric

Mostly, I like a song when I've found out what that song's about. I've fallen in love with this Avril's song recently, and my man likes it too! And here is the lyric.. :)

I can be tough / I can be strong / But with you, it's not like that at all

There's a girl / That gives a shit / Behind this wall / You just walk through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said / You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere / But right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did / Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere / But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Near, near, near
I wish you were here.

I love the way you are / It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is / And the truth, is that I really mi-i-iss

All those crazy things you said / You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere / But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did / Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere / But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Near, near, near
I wish you were here.

No, I don't wanna let go / I just wanna let you know / That I never wanna let go
(Let go let go let go let go)

No, I don't wanna let go / I just wanna let you know / That I never wanna let go
(Let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

*Repeat 2x:
Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Here, here, here
I wish you were here (I wish you were)
Damn, Damn, Damn / What I'd do to have you Near, near, near
I wish you were here.

Indonesian Cities

Just got back from Yogyakarta for work this Saturday.. Make me think back, I kinda have this obsession to travel around the Indonesian cities.. hehehe! I just think that it would be very nice once I travel the world with this kind of knowledge about my own country and whatever it has -gathered from my own experience-

Now on this chance, I'll preview back the cities I've been visited all these years to see what's been done and to see that there's so many more to do.. Because I put a little more concern about culture and tourism, I will also give my comments more about those area.. So here it goes.. :)

I've spent more than half of my life in LAMPUNG, Bandarlampung to be exact. And maybe I've travel all around Lampung during those years. This province definitely has A LOT to offer! It is rich with culture and have a great potential for tourism. I loooove Lampung's traditional clothes, and it has this super fabulous material called TAPIS. The beaches are pretty nice, but with a very minimum facility. Lampung is also a heaven for food lovers, we can find lots of delicious menus, but also with a quite limited range of restaurant choices. Earlier, I did say 'potential', because I admit that all I can see until now is still the potential, not yet the progress to be the great tourism area. I can talk all day about this beauty, but better move on to the next object shall we.. ;)

Way back then when I was little, 3 years old, or maybe 4, my Grandmother took me on a train to JAMBI. 1 of my Aunt lived there at that time. Of course there's not much to remember except the journey I've experienced riding on a train for the first time (I think). Okay, I wish there'll be a time I can go back and actually talk about the city! :)

I visited MEDAN for the very first time on 2009 (if I'm not mistaken) with Trisakti University's Student Body members. My impression more or less about this place is that it has this potential to be an intriguing place for tourists to visit. The culture is phenomenal, lots to learn from its tradition. Not to mention the famous Ulos. But then again, the infrastructure and facilities are not enough to convince people that this place is ready for tourists. I went to this very high waterfall that turns out to be the highest waterfall in Indonesia! (I just found out a week ago from an article) The place?? so called standard. Nothing special about it. Cannot make me stay longer to enjoy the view. Definitely not a place to be remembered. The food choices are great! I'm a big fan of Durian, and the Durians there are awesome! with lots of taste! Although I prefer the original flavour.. hehe. And the rare tiger shells that I love so much?? I can find it here!! hihihi.

Next? CIREBON. I visited this place for the first time during my cousin's wedding. Well, this is the 3rd time that I say this city also has a lot to offer and potential to attract tourists. There's a center for sulfur bath that based on my opinion, is not well developed and taken care of. There's also a historical building that most of time, as we all know, did not get the attention needed from the government. Cirebon has its own original batik.

YOGYAKARTA was also 1 of my destination when I was traveling with the Student Body in 2008, but I think the first time I went there was with my family.. The fact that the kingdom concept is still existing in this province create more excitement among the people who visit, excitement to learn about the way the people live, the rich culture, the cuisine, the old buildings.

Next place is SURABAYA, hihihih. Looks like my journey with the Student Body starts to open up my view on the cities I've never visited before, for this, I thank my University.. :P Not much to talk about, but this place is famous for its cuisine's greatness. People often say that Surabaya is the center of food tourism. Well, until now, I've only been there for 2 times, and each visit wasn't more than 3 days. If I have more time (and the time I spent there is for holiday) I'll describe more about it.

Last year, for the first time, I set my foot on MAKASSAR, this time, I travel with my Sekdilu 35 friends on a field trip. I remember how excited I am to finally got to the eastern part of Indonesia!! :) I went to Trans Studio at that time, not bad. Me and my sisters also visited Fort Rotterdam for pictures, but besides that, nothing else special at the place. I love the food, but I don't like es Pisang Ijo, I found it very annoyingly sweet! :P The second time I went there is for work last month. I went a little crazy buying the souvenirs.. hahaha! 1 thing I notice and I don't like so much: the beach right next to the main road is not well developed and maintained.

What else? Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung.. Well, I love going back and forth to Bogor and Bandung, because of the easier access to reach those places. As for Jakarta, I live here now. hehehe.

Okay, that's how I describe VERY BRIEFLY about the cities I've visited. But the bottom line here is that the access (how to get there, how to get around the place), the information (all about where, when, what, who, why, and how), the facilities (anything that can elevate the excitement of visiting the tourism area), the infrastructure (place to stay, place to eat, etc) is still below expectation to support the development of the tourism sector. I am a proud Diplomat, and my passion is for culture and tourism. Any job in my Ministry that have something to do with the culture and tourism sector, would make me really excited to work on!! Wish I'll give my contribution for this sector.. :))

Quote: -When in Rome-

Beth: Dad. When you married Mom, did you ever think that you wouldn't make it?
Beth's Dad: Elizabeth Ann. Honey, you cannot learn from my mistakes. You're going to have to go out there and make your own. Now, you could get your heart broken or you could have the greatest love affair the world has ever known, but you're not going to know unless you try.
Beth: But what if there was a guarantee that you'd never get hurt.
Beth's Dad: Baby... the passion is in the risk. It's like I always say, If you're going to be a bear...
Beth: ...Be a grizzly

Quote: -Valentine's Day-

Estelle: When you love someone, you love all of them... you gotta love everything about them, not just the good things but the bad things too. The things that you find lovable and the things you don't.


Reed Bennett: Did you even consider marrying me?
Morley Clarkson: Of course I did... but when you ask a girl to marry you, do you want her to just consider it? Or do you want her to just know? 

Quote: -Definitely, Maybe-

Someone really special make me look at this movie for one more time today.. And I bet he haven't watched the one I told him to watch.. :P

Well anyway, 2 scenes are my most favorite quotes. One of them is kinda related to me in some ways, that's why I love them.. :) here it is:

April: So Emily is what, like your college sweetheart?
Will Hayes: It's amazing how you do that.
April: What?
Will Hayes: The way you take the simplest statement and then you twist it with a completely negative connotation. It's really, actually, impressive.
April: [laughing] I didn't mean to do that. I actually think it's very sweet.
Will Hayes: See, you did it again! 

The next quote is something sweet, but for me, this is supposed to be what happened in the first place, not just some 'rehearsal'.. but well, if it happens like I wanted, it will never be a movie after all.. :P

April: I'm Emily your college sweetheart is there something you wanted to ask me?
Will Hayes: Emily...
April: Wait! You gotta get down on your knee
Will Hayes: No I'm not getting down on my knee
April: [Walks towards Will] She'll like it; she'll like seeing you down on your knee...
Will Hayes: I'm not getting down on my knee
April: [Rolls her eyes and walks back to the railing and turns around] Such a mistake! Okay
Will Hayes: Emily...
April: Yes William?
Will Hayes: Don't make me laugh! Emily Will you... um... marry me?
April: No
Will Hayes: Oh my god...
April: What do you mean, 'Will you, um, marry me?' I haven't seen you in weeks! You don't look happy or excited about the prospect of our marriage! You're asking me to give up my - my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails as often as it succeeds? And why should I marry you anyway? I mean, why do you wanna marry me? Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfil an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda?
Will Hayes: Oh! Oh, my God.
April: You should've got on your knee.
Will Hayes: Just shut up! Here... I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you, um, marry me?
April: Definitely. Maybe. 

Quote: -Leap Year-

For this one right here, I suggest you watch the movie, and then you get the deep meaning from these conversation below.. :)


Anna: When my 60 seconds came around i realized i had everything i ever wanted... but nothing i really needed. and i think what i need is here. and i came all this way to see if you maybe think so too. If you do, well... i don't really have plans past that, which is new for me. So, Declan O'Callhan and i should probably learn your middle name, here is my proposal; i propose we not make plans, i propose we give this thing a chance and let it work out how it works out. so what do you say, do you wanna not make plans with me?

Declan: Mrs. O'Brady Callhan. Where the hell are you going?
Anna: You said no.
Declan: I didn't say no. I didn't say anything.
Anna: You walked away.
Declan: I was getting something.
Anna: Really? That was a good time to go get something?
Declan: Yeah, it was actually.
[Presents Anna with a ring] 

Declan: I don't want not to make plans with you. I want to make plans with you.
Anna: You do?
Declan: Yeah I do.

Quote: -Love Actually-

I love quotes from movies.. So I decided from now on, I'm gonna put some of the quotes I like that I remember here in my blog.. :)) Right now, it is from Love Actually:


Jamie: I'm so late.
Jamie's Girlfriend: It's just 'round the corner, you'll make it.
Jamie: Are you sure you don't mind me going without you?
Jamie's Girlfriend: No, really, I'm just feeling so rotten.
Jamie: I love you.
Jamie's Girlfriend: I know.
Jamie: I love you even when you're sick and look disgusting.
Jamie's Girlfriend: I know. Now go or you will actually miss it.
Jamie: Right. Did I mention that I love you?
Jamie's Girlfriend: Yes you did. Get out, loser!

"I fall in Love!!"

Heheheh. judulnya bikin penasaran ga?? (pede bgt gw sok bikin penasaran, pdhl sih org jg biasa2 aja kaliiii.. haha!) itu judul lagu, the latest song I've created.. baru tau kan kalo gw bisa bikin lagu.. Cuma belom pernah di publish aja bakat gw yg satu ini, abis bakatnya banyak bgt sih, multi talented.. ;)

Kmrn pas lg tidur2an dan iseng, buka2 bb kan.. eh, ketemu ada rekaman hasil iseng nyanyi2 waktu 11 September.. hihihi.

Another hint yah, dulu sih waktu bb yg lama belom ilang (yes, I've lost mine once) banyaaaaak bgt deh tuh isi lagu2 hasil iseng.. According to me sih, lagunya bagus2.. :P tapi berhubung 'alat perekamnya' ilang & gw ga buat back up, lenyaplah sudah karya cipta gw ituuu :(((

Baiklah, kembali ke topik. Jadi kmrn nih pas sore2 dengerin lagu ini, sukses loh bikin gw senyum2 sendiri.. hihi. Abis lucu bangettt, and then again (menurut gw loh ya) keren bgt lagunya.. hahaha!

I can still remember the feeling when I sing the song back then, & I think the feeling stays.. I wish this feeling stays forever (hahaha. curhat dikit gpp lah ya.. :P)

Bikin penasaran ga kaya apa lagunya?? Maaf, tidak akan di-share.. heheh. For private use only, at least for now.. :)) yah, mdh2an ada kesempatan yg membuat gw akan mem-publish lagunya.. hihihi.

Until then, bye for now dulu yah.. See you in a bit!!

..MC..

Lagi santai2 di cubicle tercinta, tb2 bos masuk & bilang "Nik, besok jd MC yah acara di bawah". What??!!! Jd MC sih ga masalah, masalahnya itu, acaranya pagi2, ada upacara pula. Gw udah berencana berangkat bareng adek gw yg ga pagi2 amat krn ga mau bawa mobil berhubung siangnya mau dinas ke Bogor.. Hhhhh. Membongkar rencana gw deh pokoknya!! Belom lg ini acara pake bahasa Indonesia (bukan berasa bahasa Inggris gw udah keren banget sih, cuma emang kaya kaku aja gitu gw kalo memandu acara resmi pake bahasa Indonesia.. hehe).

Yah, okelah, cukup sudah mengeluhnya. Tadinya mau minta aja draft MC yg bahasa Indonesia sama temen, tapi ternyata gw lagi rajin & sebelum nulis disini, tuh draft udah gw buat dan terpampang dengan cantiknya di meja.. And I'm ready for tomorrow.. hihihi.

Dan setelah gw inget2 lg.. Ini kan bukan tugas substantif ya.. And in my opinion, anything that's not substantive is fun! hahaha.

Utak Atik Sesat

Hari ini pas buka2 blog (lg super rajin nih ceritanya...hehe) pengen utak-atik desain & lain-lainnya gitu kan.. Nah, coba2 lah ke link-link yg berhubungan sama blog.. download2, trus akhirnya dicobain lah itu yg udah di download.. Trus ga suka, trus mau balikin ke desain awal. Emang dasar suka sotoy & agak2 gaptek, ternyata gw bingung mau balikin ke desain awal yg ungu2 itu gimana.. hahaha!

Pas mau coba2 lg dari awal matching2in warna, ga sreg gitu sama ungunya.. Ya udah deh, go with the 2nd best: coklat!! pas cari2 jg pas gt warnanya.. hehehe. Me likey deh! ;)

Hihihi. Super ga penting banget sih ya.. Yah, yg penting hasrat buat posting tersalurkan deh! :D

Review film: In Time

Semalem abis ntn In Time nih.. Mau bahas sedikit ah..

A little note about me yah.. I loooove watching movies!! Almost every kind of movies.. Dan bawaannya tuh gatel banget pgn nonton kalo ada film yg according to my hunch bagus dan ada di list bioskop tapi belum ditonton.. hehe. But as we all know, I'm not a consistent writer, though I also like to write.. :P

Ya udah, balik ke In Time ya.. I actually like the concept of this movie. Orang-orang di dunia ini dikasih waktu 25 tahun dlm hidupnya, setelah 25 tahun, hidupnya hanya tersisa 1 tahun yang ditandain sama digital watch di tangan yg menghitung mundur setiap detiknya. Yang anehnya, semuanya dibayar pake waktu, pengeluaran dan pemasukan orang hitungannya juga waktu, dan kita juga bisa nambah umur kita dengan waktu juga (walaupun secara fisik kita akan selalu terlihat 25). Duh.. tuh kan, baru jg mulai cerita, udah males ngelanjutin.. hahaha. Maybe it's just that, though I like to write, am actually a better talker than a writer.. ;) Ya intinya gitu deh ya, memang lbh oke kalo nonton langsung!! wkwk.

Overall sih ga memorable juga filmnya.. Tapi ada satu hal yang bisa bikin mikir, kalo manusia itu rakus & suka ga pernah puas. Saat kita cm punya waktu sehari, atau setahun deh, rasanya banyak yg mesti kita kejar dan waktu tuh setiap detiknya berharga banget. Tapi begitu kita tau kalo kita punya bertahun2 atau bahkan berabad2 untuk hidup, kita jadi super santai dan ga menghargai waktu.

Udah deh, gitu aja. Oh iya, dari film itu, jadi terinspirasi a qoute: I'll appreciate every second of my life with you, that's how much I love you.. Will you do that too?? *poke someone who have just laugh at my blog this morning* :P

a Recipe from my Uncle

Idul Adha tahun ini menyenangkan loh.. :)) Rutinitas keliling buat silaturahmi lbh FUN, karena kelilingnya bareng2 sama adek2 mama yg ada di Jakarta, jadi kita bisa tuker2an anak di mobil.. hehehe.

Abis acara keliling selesai, Tanteku yg baik hati tb2 nanya "kalian mau pada nonton atau karaoke gitu Nik? pergi aja ajak anak2, Ibu sama Om mau tdr siang" hahaha! Tadinya sih rencananya mau jd baby sitter semua anak2 tuyul, tp berhubung kita mau karaoke & yg cowok2 males, jadilah yg cewek2 aja yg pergi: which is lebih asik! ;)

Anyway, inti dari post kali ini justru setelah kita pulang karaoke sih.. Mampir rmh om dulu kan, sebelum pulang si om insist biar kita mkn mlm dulu di rmhnya.. karena dia sendiri yg mau masak!! :P

Sekarang mari kita flash back menunya.. hehe! Mlm itu si om punya 2 menu (Thank God ada lauk yg lain jg sih.. wkwkwk), tp yg berkesan adalah Sop Telur Tomat!! Pas dia lg masak di dapur sih, kita ketawa2in karena kayanya gampang banget & ga penting banget tuh sop, tapi pas udah jadi.. enak juga loh! Lumayan kalo lg laper tp males masak & ga banyak bahan buat di masak.. :P

Jd gimana prosesnya?? Rebus air yg udah dicampur sama tomat, terus masukin telur sebanyak yg kita mau, tambah bumbu sedikit, aduk, tunggu sampe tomatnya lembek deh.. super gampang kan?? hahaha! Makasih ya om resepnya.. berguna banget loh buat si pemalas seperti Nikki.. ;)

My 'Sisters'

Hari ini agak2 berasa biasa banget deh.. Hampir seharian dihabiskan dlm ruangan aja soalnya (padahal hampir stiap hari beredar.. hahaha!) Selain karena dpt makan di ruangan, hari ini juga penghuni basecamp tempat biasanya mampir pas jam2 istirahat (Kavar) memulai masa cutinya..

Jadi gini, sejak hampir 2 tahun ini, kayanya gw udah pernah tulis juga sih.. I have found myself more sisters.. 4 to be exact!! :) I call them Kancil, Kamel, Karet, & Kavar, all for particular reasons that I won't share to all of you.. hehehe. Even those names, just the 5 of us eligible for the names I've just mention!! :P

Kita ketemu karena sama2 masuk instansi yang sama aja, di Kemlu inilah kita pertama kali ketemu dan kenal. Tapi kok rasanya kaya kenal udah lamaaaaa banget!! It's just like finding your soulmate (tapi bonusnya banyak banget yah, sampe ketemu 4!! haha). Kenapa kita bisa deket?? Alasannya banyak! Tapi kayanya yg kita semua mengakui adalah karena kita berbagi 'keanehan' yang sama yang cuma kita aja yang ngerti.. hehehe.

Bisa dibilang, salah satu alasan yg menguatkan gw untuk berangkat ke kantor pada saat lg males-malesnya (which is setiap hari kayanya.. wkwk) adalah karena mau kumpul sama mereka dan cerita2 sama mereka yang kayanya bahannya ga pernah abis! Gimana ga abis-abis, yang dibahas cerita soal kita-kita juga sih, ada terus lah ceritanya.. :P (kadang orang2 kalo liat kita kumpul pasti blg 'ibu-ibu rumpi!', kadang kita mikir lg, kita aneh deh, yg dirumpiin anehnya Kamel lah, sotoynya Karet & Kavar lah, atau Kancil yg kadang suka ga asik.. hahaha!)

oh iya, Karet udah sempet liat2 blog ini sebelum gw edit2 lg hari ini, dan dia blg blog gw norak. Bodo deh Karet, yg penting gw tulis apa yg mau gw tulis.. :P

It's been a Year!!

Hihihihi. I know, I know.. I can't keep my words to take care of this blog.. it's been a very long time.. more than a year!! :P

Kalopun mau jujur, kepikiran sama blog ini pun krn beberapa hari yg lalu ada 'sesuatu' yang mendorong buat liat-liat blog orang tentang 'sesuatu'.. hehehe, sok rahasia.. Gara-gara itulah jadi kepikiran kalo kangen nulis2 sampah dalam format yang agak panjang (kalo sehari2 sih ada twitter, buat menampung 'sampah2' dalam format pendek tapi banyakkkk! hehe)

Mulai darimana yah.... Hmm.. A LOT has happen this year!!

Dari awal tahun udah balik ke tanah air, udah menjalani hari-hari di kantor dengan rutinitas yang hampir sama dari hari ke hari. Walaupun bisa dibilang saat-saat ini bukan saat-saat yang menyenangkan dalam pekerjaan (lg ditempatin di bid. hukum just becoz of the title SH), tapi Alhamdulilah selalu inget kalo this is my dream job dan pasti ada saatnya nanti pekerjaan ini bener2 terasa menyenangkan.. :)

While writing this piece, I decided that I won't go too far with my privacy in this blog (padahal gatel sih pengen ngomong, maklum, kalo org2 suka gosip ngomongin orang laen, gw lbh suka ngomongin diri sendiri.. hahaha!)

Yah, kok tb2 blank yah mw ngelanjutin ngomong apa?? Tapi nongol ide buat bahas topik laen.. kebiasaan deh suka loncat2 pikirannya!! Ok then, bye for now!
